Interviewed Aug 2011 in Coppell, TX (took 4 months)
Very disorganized from front to back. Not just stating this because I was not selected. At first, it began as a typical online application, then a phone screen. Classic right hand not talking to the left hand. I was invited to have a phone chat with the hiring manager. That was settled but the very next day, they sent a "Dear Applicant" email. So I called the HR contact. After several communications, turned out that someone else in the HR had filled in for my contact and bulk sent out rejection notices.
A couple of week later, big rush to meet all the top execs...THREE days I was requested to come in in a single week - with the last day meeting the President, the SVPs of HR and Security, and my previous hiring authority interviewer.
After more than a month of waiting, I finally emailed and called. Surprise, surprise..."had just slipped their minds". Then, told to take two online Flash tests from Thomas International: the GIA and PPA. The first is a skills timed test - a pared down IQ exam. The second is a personality exam like Skills Finder from Gallup.
Well, there were substantial problems with the GIA Flash. The test times were not accurate (I used an on-screen timer). So, I sent an email to Thomas' Help Desk. Big mistake. It was routed to the Director of HR at Brink's and a full three weeks later, with no further input from Brink's, I received a canned and unsigned "Dear Applicant" rejection.
At first, all the Brink's people were so positive and "nice" it was disturbing. Brink's has never been rated that high, so I thought something was up. The proof in how the culture operates is provided the cavalier and "couldn't be bothered" attitude I encountered. In all my years' experience with hiring at the Director level and above, this is the first time that a face-to-face for 45 minutes with the President of a Company did not result in a similarly direct and humane response for a decision to not hire. The only word I can think to wrap up this description is: PATHETIC.

Interviewed Dec 2010 in New York, NY (took a day)
Submitted my resume online and was contacted next day for a phone screening interview by a Talent Acquisition personnel in Texas. He emailed the interview confirmation along with the posted job description and benefits package.
At the beginning of the call, he gave me an overview of the scope of the position and emphasized that it involved the whole of North America and not just New York. He informed me that he would be inputting my answers to each question and that they will be reviewed by the person above him.
It lasted 20 minutes.

Interviewed Oct 2009 in Dallas, TX (took 3 weeks)
I applied on line and then was called in for an interview and asked to submit a communications plan. The hiring manager seemed very interested and then no one from HR or the marketing team would return calls, emails or any communications sent to them. I never even received a rejection email. Very unfair and unprofessional.

Interviewed Feb 2010 in Memphis, TN (took a day)
It was very brief. Explained all the benefits the company offers (which are outstanding in my opinion). When we got through with that, I took a personality test that consisted of questions about ethics and integrity.

There did not seem to be any room for negotiation. It was more like take it or leave it.
